THE FIELD TRIALS ENDED.
AN EASTERN DOG WINS THE
CHAMPION STAKE.
Roderigo's Brilliant Work Feature OF
the Contest-Gath's Mark and Bob
Gates Both Run Excellently-Tho
Florence (Ala.) Meeting.

Special Dispatch to the Appeal
Hen PoINT, N. c., Dec. 1.-The Cham
pion stake had eight starters and was fin
ished today. Gloster, winner Of the All
aged setter stake OF this meeting, won the
stake. The heats We're, briefly, as fol-
lows:
Glos,er beat handspring in closely con
tested heat.
Robert le Diable beat Richmond in an
uninteresting heat.
Bob Gates showed decided superiority
in range and pace over Foreman, and won.
Roderigo and Gath's Mark ran q bril-
liant race. Roderigo outclassed Mark in
work on birds, and won.
SUMMARY FIRST SERIES.
Gloster setter beat handspring pointer
Robert lie Diable pointer beat Richmond point
Bob Gates tsetter) beat Foreman (setter)
Roderigo setter beat Gnths Mark (settci).
In the second series Glosier had an easy victory
ovcf Robert lc Dable In an ordinary heat
Roderigo beat Bob Gates easily both on coyics
and single birds.
FINAL HEAT.
The final heat for the stake was between
Gloster and Roderigo. In this heat the
character and quality Of the work done by
Rodergo ON birds was far superior to that
of Gloster, as was also his speed, range and
style. Gloster beat Roderigo simply in
the actual number OF points made on
game. Gloster was awarded the prize.
The winner is an eastern dog, and has
been fully described in our report OF the
Alleged setter stake. lie was extremely
lucky in striking easy matches in his first
two heats.
Roderigo bore the brunt OF the battle in
meeting and defeating two such grand and
famous dogs MS Bob Gates and Gath's
Mark. Gloster in, and has proved himself
TO be, grand dog.
Field trials seem TO be drifting back IL
the old point system. The quality, speed,
range and style Of work done by one dog
will not outweigh the actual number OF
points made on game by another dog This
is 10 be regretted, since the elements oI
luck enter too largely into the latter after
the covies are found. II is the speedy
ranging, merry, stylish worker that de
lights the sportsman's heart, and not the
simple fact Of pointing scattered birds.
The eastern trials are ended for this sea
son. Quite "A number of the dogs that
ran here will leave tonight and tomorrow
for Florence, Ala, where the trials OF the
American field trials club are to be run
commencing Monday, December ~.
Memphis dogs, though they lost frs
place in the alleged stake and the Cham
pion stake, have much to be proud Of
The Derby, always the most coveted prize
was won by Joey b., son OF Roderigo
Chance, also son OF Roderigo, won sec
ond in the Alleged setter stake, and Nat
Goodwin Utter brother Of Chance) di
yided third with Jean Vanjcan, n hall
brother OF Roderigo-all owned by Ia,
Memphis 4 Avent kennel. This is
grand showing for Memphis and the bloc,
OF Roderigo. II must not be forgotten
that the liking of Lewellin settlers, grca
old Gladstone, is the grandsire OF all o
these dogs, and from whom they inhcri
their winning ways"

and the fierce fires that Wawhook
never failed TO light for his enemies; OIten
had they studied how to humble their Ielent-
less foe all to no purpose, until one uaIlns
warrior suggested that they rob Wawhook ;
wigwam of its lovely treasure, the beautiiui
Onaway.
In pursuance of this plan, a picked body
of Chesuncook braves Immediately moved
south. For DAYS and weeks they hung on
the outskirts of the Penobscot village, wait
ing for an opportunity. 1t came at last. On
away, at walk beyond the village limits, was
seized and hurried away to the north. On
their way to Chesuncook, her captors came
one evening to a beautiful lake, surrounded
by mountains, and on its shores made their
camp for the night Onaway, bound hand
and foot, resigned herself TO despair and I'M
quiet sleep.
But the Great Spirit, so the legend runs;
appearing to the distressed maiden, loosed
her bonds and gently leading her from the
camp of her captors, held before her ham
ing torch that illumined for her Saie pain
back to her own people.
After that, for years, whenever q Cnesuh-
cook Indian made his camp by tnat lake,
cloud of deepest darkness settled around
him. while hideous war-whoops resounding
through the forest and over the lake. drove
him in terror from the place. But when
ever any of the young warriors OF onaway
them even in the widest storms, and IN the
darkest nights bright light shone about
them and guided them on their way.
This is the tradition as the old men of the
Penobscots told it to old Louis Annance.
None of them had ever seen the mysterious
light, but to their forefathers it was, they
had no doubt, reality. Nor is it recorded
that any of the lumbermen who afterwards
frequented the lake, saw any of these Won
ders. The special favor of the Great Spirit
to Onaway and her people could not be ex-
pected to extend to race who mutilated the
forests and inflicted on the beautiful lake
the name of Ship Pond.
